  1. Criticizing Maddon overall in a vague way seems dumb. He is clearly a good manager. You really don't need to turn up the volume on criticism simply because the board justly likes him. As you can see, everyone is more than willing to wonder wtf he's doing when he does something clearly dumb. Just look back at the last two pages if you need evidence. So stick to harping on this dumbness, not his managing in general, or the people that correctly praise him for being awesome in general. And "they" don't get jumped on for it with personal attacks nearly as often, which is what CAUSES the back and forth....do that and i'm putting you in your place...simple as that. Because they are throwing shade when it makes sense to do so, as opposed to when you do it, which seems to be at completely random and spiteful times.
  2. I don't get this crusade. You already have said you think Maddon is one of the best managers in the game. Just pointing out the facts...the ones soaking their tampons over my doing so are the ones on the "crusade"... Just slapping them around a bit after their misguided initial attacks.

  3. "There's a week or 10 days when he'll shorten up and utilize the entire field, and other times he's pretty much [pro golfer] John Daly," Maddon said, when asked for a comparison.
  4. Huh? You're not a major league manager so the onus is on you to prove through math that you're ridiculous rantings and ravings hold any water. You're not rent free anywhere at all, I just find this weird crusade to be a truly special thing to behold until you flame out and say something that gets you banned. It's going to happen. If you think Maddon is a terrible manager you should go watch some Cardinals games, but I suspect you probably do watch a ton of Cardinal games see Matheny work his magic and troll on a Cubs board as a form of therapy. You sound upset. Strawmen, deflections and misrepresentations galore. Looks like you are the one "ranting and raving", and all but begging for banning.....pathetic. Link to me calling Maddon a terrible manager BTW..? RENT FREE Walk it off son. ...you are [ad hominum].
  5. Robot umps might have given Rizzo a better outcome. Is Lackey mad just because of the PED thing? Or because Dee is black? Or both?
  6. So much hate (Lackey) for a guy that is so solid. 3.80 fip and he's a jackass. i look at him and see nothing worth liking. We need more "There Will be Blood" references randomly worked into comments about Lackey, in particular.
  7. yes yeah it was rhetorical :) I just posted that to marvel in it. Of course they might get dominated by McCallup Johnson or someone too. Can I PLEASE either get my name changed to "Judas Iscariot, the Bird" or "McCallup Johnson" please?! Mods!!?!
  8. http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/schedule/_/name/chc They don't take it out that far, but you get the idea of the rough guys who will be there if you take the rotation out in your head. Hammel, Lester, Lackey?! horsefeathering gross.
  9. wait until he finds his way into the broadcast booth He is currently jumping the shark for the 55th time in the radio booth.
  10. This Dempster horsefeathers where he endlessly does a horrible impersonation of Will Farrell doing an horrible impersonation of Harry Carry needs TO END NOW. RIGHT horsefeathering NOW.

  13. I kind of hope he was just pissed about getting hit twice and was trying to truck someone. This team needs a spark! ...or not. Do I root for Clayton to give up 2 or 3 so it can speed his dfa in this situation?
  14. That might actually be correct? At least in the WS era?
  15. The idea of anyone getting upset that Richard wasn't getting warmed up in the bullpen is funny to me.
  16. Flashbacks to 2003. Man is it nice to not have a moron as manager.
  17. who? http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view/239473/stare-down-o.gif
  18. Can we see Contreras here please? I'm not sure if that is the right call, but I still want to see it.
